Exoskeleton!
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Yah, it was that crate lifter.
This just reminded me of something....lemme try to find it.....damn. It was that site with that guy who actually made this large metal frame for the legs and he had this bigass engine to drive them. That was a long time ago and I havent read anything on that project since. Oh well

It something to do with the weight of the fridge being disrubuted through out the skeleton (something like that). Anybody here played the Metal Gear Solid games? Imagine the Ninja's armor, becoming reality.
A fully equiped exoskeleton incorporating the stealth suit which EB posted a while back.....balissimo!
If you think about it Soliders would no longer need to carry a lot of the supplies that they do know as the suit would be able to maintain their body temperature (if the technology was incorporated to it).

Exoskeletons will only really be viable when there is a power source so that:
1) It can power the whole thing, and be small.
2) It doesn't generate a lot of noise or heat.
3) It doesn't rely on fuel, I think. Any viable exoskeleton will probably run on just energy. Gasoline powered would be too noisy I think, and would generate a lot of heat. Still a pretty neat concept though.
